Stand up and be counted? Stand up, anyway?<BR/><BR/>Because this has been an immeasurably irritating day, I shall.<BR/><BR/>Primarily, just <I>what</I> is wrong with <I> barey/hoge ma, gejje, long plaits and mallige hoovu?</I> Especially when vouched for with undiluted sincerity and doing it the only way we know is much better than ACCENTuating among other things, gejje and mallige huvu, with and in manners characteristic of the torpor found in a CCD somewhere near Sadashivnagar?<BR/><BR/>The cool ones are from where? Srirampura, I assume(I wonder where that is, hmmm...)<BR/><BR/>If the above mentioned tokens of Banashankarocity are solely Banashankari Girls domain, what do people in Jaynagar do? Giggle too much and talk to guys at Cool Joint while smiling stupidly?(Which they do, trust me, I know) Maybe you are right, after all. This whole <I>characteristica</I> thing works. <BR/><BR/>So what of the girls in Malleshwaram? Saunter around in Jimmy Choos on 8th cross and haggle over overpriced mallige hoovu at street corners? Or eat Idlis at sundry joints just so to come out dripping with Nostalgia? "Wow. That's the best benne dose I ate in years. What do you mean what's for lunch? Why! lobster ravioli and cornwall pasties and potatoes, of course."<BR/>(I'm doing this profiling thing rather well, no? Doctor BD? huh? huh?)<BR/>Banashankrocity or not, when we go to X Darshini, we eat idlis cos they're yum. Not because we believe we are partaking in some ceremony of historic significance. History, Histrionics etc are someone else's mainstay, as it were. For a Banashankaricious local, loving home needn't mean taking digs at other unsuspecting denizens, appropriated by our own insecurities as 'counterparts', requiting 'putting in place' etc. So no, We won't say we have a bigger, better MTR(Assuming Banashankari is just a witting misnomer for all of South Bangalore, which is, I admit, a different landscape, from the other Bangalores) for other TRs ahem you've got. <BR/><BR/>So, anyway, digs aside, blogger to blogger,bigot to bigot, what is it BD saar(note sincere Bsk accent. Oh and please, I don't mind your veritably genuine New England drawl, <I>at all</I>!)? Some relationship gone sour? Some matrimonial alliance where gaNas didn't match?<BR/>Girl was from Bsk aa? Che! Why trawl around there for brides, in the first place?<BR/><BR/>Let me speculate one tiny bit and presume with my impeccable worldly knowledge and experience that all girls from M'wram and thereabout chose only Raj Saxenas and their cumulative cousin population? Over bikers? and tams? bengaluru hudugas?<BR/><BR/>Oh MY GOD!Somebody Elsehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11334362155713136390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636536530950102632.post-60147399114817575882008-05-27T21:55:00.000-07:002008-05-27T21:55:00.000-07:00Dude .......
